Entrelac Color Burst Baby Blanket

Entrelac Color Burst Baby Blanket

by Danielle Romanetti

This is our newest free pattern, just in time for spring baby knitting. The purple squares are worked with a textured lumpy and bumpy yarn to give baby something fun to feel while snuggling under their blanket. By using Miss Babs Yowza and it’s huge yardage, here are very few ends to weave in.
